Introduction 2.1. Purpose Cellular telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between base transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distribution system. Such a system contains an optical Master Unit and several Remote Units. The number of the Remote Units depends on the hardware and software configuration. The Remote Units are connected to the Master Unit with optical links. The optical loss must be less than 10 dB inclusive optical couplers or splitters. The Master Unit is the connection to the base transceiver stations. The configuration of a Master Unit depends on the number of the Remote Units and the frequency range. WDM (Wave Division Multiplex) filters are integrated in the optical modules. For the UL, a wavelength within 1546 nm 1550 nm is used. For the DL, a wavelength of 1310 10 nm is used. The maximum output power for the UL and DL is 6.7 mW. 2.2. ION-M17EP/19P The ION-M17EP/19P is a multi-band multi-operator Remote Unit with various Extension Units (EUs). It is used in conjunction with a Master Unit (MU) in the ION optical distribution system. This system transports multiple frequency bands simultaneously (1900 MHz and 1700/2100 MHz), providing a cost-effective solution for distributing capacity from one or more base stations. By supporting the entire AWS-3 spectrum, faster and more reliable wireless service is ensured and network quality can be improved The ION-M17EP/19P transports signals on the RF layer in a very inexpensive manner. This means technologies are moved simultaneously from a cluster of base stations to a remote location over the same fiber. The ION optical distribution system is a cost-effective coverage solution for dense urban areas, tunnels, subway, airports, convention centers, high-rise buildings and other locations where physical structures increase path loss. It has been specifically designed to reduce zoning problems and to provide homogeneous coverage. The compact, mechanical design is specifically architected to mount inside of poles or along side structures in such a way that it has a minimal visual impact. that multiple operators and multiple Page 14 Manual ION-M17EP_19P MF0150ACA.docx Manual for ION-

M17EP/19P 2. Introduction The ION-M17EP/19P is available in a multi-band configuration supporting 1900 MHz and 1700/2100 MHz. It has been specifically tested and optimized for GSM, CDMA2000, WCDMA, and LTE/LTE-A signals. Furthermore, it is provisioned for future modulation schemes and frequency bands. The ION is easily set-up and supervised via a graphical user interface (GUI). Remote Units can be commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment. An auto-levelling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and quick. The entire system as well as complete network of systems can be managed remotely most efficiently by CommScope`s A.I.M.O.S, which includes alarm monitoring, task automation, inventory management and many more features. Should a sophisticated interface not be required, the master unit can be directly connected to the alarm interface of a base station via relay alarming.

The pigtails for the connection between Master Unit and Remote Unit must have a sufficient length. Protection for the optical fibers must be provided where the fibers feed into the units. The system attenuation of the optical fibers, including the connectors, must not exceed 10 dB. System attenuation and attenuation of optical components must be determined. This can be achieved by measuring attenuation with an appropriate measuring instrument. For pigtails, a total value of <0.4 dB (measured to a reference plug) can be assumed due to the dead zone of the reflectometer. These measurements must be made with a sufficient length of optical fiber, at the input and output of the device which has to be measured. Fiber-System Installation:

Fiber-cable connectors have to be of the same type (E2000 APC 8) as the connectors used for the unit. The fiber-optic cables are connected to the optical transceiver. Note:

Angled connectors are not compatible with straight optical connectors; non-compatibility of connectors will result in permanent damage to both connectors. Before connecting the fiber cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized performance. It is important for these procedures to be carried out with care:

Remove fiber-optic protective caps. Do not bend the fiber-optic cable in a tight radius (<4 cm) as this may cause cable damage and interrupt transmission. Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of the fiber-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor interface box. Use a fiber end-face inspection tool to scan both, the glass fiber and its surrounding area. Check for dirt on the cladding, chips/pits, dirt on the ferrule, and scratches. Connect the fiber-optic cables by inserting the cable end into the laser receptacle and aligning the key (on the cable end) with the keyed slot. Notice: In order to keep the specified IP class, using the protective plug as explained in chapter 4.2.9 is required. Do not use any index-matching gels or fluids of any kind in these connectors. Gels are intended for laboratory use and attract dirt in the field. Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fiber-

optic cables - use the connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber. Scratches and dust significantly affect system performance and may permanently damage the connector. Always use protective caps on fiber-optic connectors not in use. Page 30 Manual ION-M17EP_19P MF0150ACA.docx Manual for ION-

M17EP/19P Note:

4. Commissioning Cleaning Procedure for Fiber-Optical Components:

Caution: Laser radiation. Risk of eye injury in operation. Do not stare into the beam; do not view it directly or with optical instruments. Any impurity in the fiber connection results in additional optical transmission loss which could cause whole system failure. It is thus recommended that every fiber connector be inspected and cleaned prior to mating. When you clean fiber components, always complete the following steps carefully:

1. Turn off the ION system (laser sources) before you inspect fiber connectors. 2. Check the connectors or adapters with a fiberscope before cleaning. 3. If the connector is dirty, clean it with a lint-free wipe (dry cleaning). 4. Inspect the connector. 5. If the connector is still dirty, repeat the dry cleaning technique. 6. Inspect the connector. 7. If the connector is still dirty, clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol (wet cleaning) followed immediately with a dry clean in order to ensure no residue is left on the end face. 8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until end face is clean. Note: For a more detailed description, please refer to:
